Apparently SHIT is my favorite word. LOL
I am a firm believer that eventually everyone in a bad situation knows it's bad. Now whether they get out of that bad situation is another story.
Let me give you an example, a woman dealing with a cheater (I do not know why we do it). She has caught him cheating a number of times by text messages, emails, phone conversations. I mean he pretty much is sleeping with her sister. She confides in you and shares her frustration about his infidelity and you are supportive. As a friend in the beginning you say," Girl once he has cheated, it is a strong possibility he is going to do it again." Sike!!! You know as a girl friend we always say,
"ONCE A CHEATER, ALWAYS A CHEATER, LEAVE HIS ASS!!!!"
Now I know that statement is unfair, but you know how we can get.
But moving on, after that conversation your friend decides to stay, they decide to work it out. And you being the supportive friend you are say cool, I am here for you if you need me. Then it happens again, and again and again. Now my normal reaction is to console, be their rock. After I'm done with that I say to my friend," How long are you going to sit in this shit?"
And do not get me wrong, in no way am I judging (I am though, LOL). I have sat in shit before, a number of times (while you judged me too). But how long am I supposed to sit around and let you sit in it? How long am I supposed to smell it and ignore it? How long am I supposed to be silent knowing damn well I can see that shit? When are you going to realize at some point you need to get your shit together?
And of course if you don't realize you smell like shit then you don't know that the situation you are in is bad for you. But when it clicks for you and you still sit in it, I don't have time for that shit. You mean to tell me you are just going to walk around smelling like shit and not fix it? You have to identify the shit, get up from it and clean yourself off. Don't bring that shit into new situations, new opportunities, new relationships.
Leave the shit.
And him too. LOL
#dearSHIT I've dusted myself off and tried again.
